[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fndpena:
Hey folks...

The last few days I've been trying to make my sdcard able storage apps.

I followed some instructions (from xda) on how to partition my card and make a second partition (ext2) in order to install apps.

Using the app Link2SD, I was able to recognized the partition and mount it (/data/sdext2) and thanks to init.d it is mounted on every boot.

The partition is actually there and I can confirm that navigating to /data/sdext2 using root explorer.

I can LINK apps just fine using the app, but I cannot move the whole app using native app2sd. I always got this message:

INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE

And this is not true, since I got 20gb of free space in ext2 partition.

So, I hope someone give me some light on this issue, I can't figure out what is going on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrxSiN:
S3 got a lot of space. It more than enough to install just app. But if u're gaming in S3 u might need Directory Binding due App2SD not working on S3. Phone need to be Rooted. Search the forum for tutorial or YouTube.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fndpena:
Yes, games are the problem, they are BIG, specially gameloft titles.

What do you mean with directory binding? Is that the same as symbolic links that we can make with Link2SD?

EDIT: I just read this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889550

It's not the same.

I only need a ext2 partition if the device is app2sd supported. In this case, s3 is not. Right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirbd:
Use "directory bind" software it's easy and safe
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrxSiN:
It an app. Similar to "GL to SD" app. But it more easy. Set it and forget. Unlike "GL to SD" u need to mount it every time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fndpena:
Is it safe to move any folder with DirectoryBind?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
what do you mean by that?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fndpena:
Can I move other folders like I did with /sdcard/android/obb?

For example: /sdcard/android/data
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Hi folks,

Before somebody says "but that's precisely the pretty good thing about Nexus 4..." let me tell you that I couldn't wait until google shuts up and takes my money, and so I went and grabed one from SFR, a French carrier, and those guys lock the sim card. Now I want to know if it is possible to unlock it, because time to time I travel to another country and I may want to buy a temporal sim card in order to not use the crazily expensive roaming service from SFR.

So, then, did somebody already figured out how to unlock this phone ?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
Have you tried another sim in it? I ask because I've never heard of a network locked N4. Also, o2 UK claim their N4s are network locked but they aren't.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Great! No, I didn't try. Is there any other way to know if it is actually locked? In my previous Xperia Pro it was informed in the service menu, in the Nexus 4, I entered to the service menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#* but I cannot find that information.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
That's because as far as anyone is concerned, the phone is SIM unlocked regardless of who sells it or claim that its locked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Ok. Thank you very much to you both. I was ready to pay the 80€ SFR charges for unlock it. Now I will ensure to try with another sim card before (and reply in this thread as soon as I have a confirmation for everybody else).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi JanusDC,

Weird, just receive my Nexus 4 today from SFR 1 hour ago (wife's SFR contract), put my Orange SIM card and... no desimlock code needed, all is fine I have my Orange APN's so data works, calls, etc (just tested)...

At least for me, SFR doesn't simlock the phone... strange :confused:

My previous Nexus (Galaxy Nexus) was simlocked by SFR but not the Nexus 4...

:)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Really great to know! That's the kind of confirmation I was waiting for. So, I hope nobody pays the 80€ they ask for desimlock it... and we should denounce them for cheating that way, don't you think?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
You're welcome ;), the funny thing (si je peux dire :D) is when why wife called SFR for to order the Nexus 4 I asked her she ask if the phone was simlocked... reply from SFR: YES, but it's free after 3 month or you need to pay (you're right 80 euros)... received the phone now about 2 hours, as I said above it's very recent :D, the phone is desimlocked!!! :silly:

Yes, but in this case the phone is desimlocked... so... but for my previous Nexus (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) this one was simlocked (fortunately when I bought it I was with SFR (my SFR contract), after about 2 1/2 month I moved to Orange... and there I had to do desimlock it because my Orange SIM doesn't work, need the unlock code :() and in fact all the Nexus line should be desimlocked dixit Google (correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's only, here, in France, with SFR that the previous Nexus was simlocked).

Yes it's a shame from SFR, but maybe they change their view with this last Nexus (only them have the exclusivity)...

In any case a Nexus 4 ordered from SFR in France is desimlocked...

I'm haaaaaaaapyyyyyyy :D:p:laugh::silly:

For now root... :D

:)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
Yes, but I don't know what would have happened if I would have paid the 80€... would they had told me "Sorry, get your money back, it is already desimlocked", or, more probably, they would just had taken my money and said "Now you are free, enjoy!"... :confused:

I share your excitement... this phone is amazing! :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
I don't know... Maybe they know the phone is desimlocked... or not... My wife had a "bad" counselor, for sure! :confused: ah ah ah misinformation!!! In any case like I said it's weird, my previous Galaxy Nexus (from SFR) was simlocked and not this one...

Desimlock an already desimlocked phone from a carrier for 80 euros payed.... it's direct the customer service!!!

Maybe SFR was "mis à l'amende" by Google? Since the Nexus phones are and should be desimlocked...?

YES, YES, and YES... not so different from the Galaxy Nexus (exept the CPU/RAM/design and minor things) but comming from the S III... Amazing!

Pure Android experience, amazing hardware, no lags or stutters causing by an overlay... like Touchwiz...

No comment :D

hi im a noob so go easy on me!

i have been a follower of your site for some time now

(had a self hacked xperia x10 awhile back with help from posts on this site, and now thanks to various peoples work and this site have a official 2.3.3 desire bravo s-offed cwm backup and rooted.)

but this is my first post.

my question is as above really. i would like to know what people think is the best kernel (or other way to overclock) and the links/guide for the official 2.3.3 gingerbread update.

im not looking for mental power just to eek it up a bit (near 1200mhz will do)

any help gratefully recieved :fingers-crossed:

big thanks for the developement work already done by this site!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sywats:
Just use set CPU from play store
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] si_c1978:
hi, thanks for your reply,

set cpu doesnt allow you to see past the standard frequency available for the processor, im using a alpha kernel based on the stock one that now lets me see 1190mhz.

you see im trying to achieve the holy grail of getting gta 3 to run well on my desire.

it does and well, but vice city is proving a little sluggish
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sywats:
Where do u find them games for this device ? would love to try them there's not many at gameloft

Cheers

sent from my mildwild desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] si_c1978:
Just search for gta3 apk or vice city apk, with vice city the instalation instructions are a bit vague so read through comments and you'll piece it together.

Youl need to use ram manager on hard gaming, overclock and 3d chainfire experiment with the settings and plugins on that. Also you can adjust graphics in game settings draw distance has the greatest effect on lag. Good luck!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpeet666:
I know its not that helpful but if setcpu let's u overclock up to 1190mhz....isn't that "near 1200mhz"?

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

get a nice quick ROM like leedroid froyo 2.5.0 and use setcpu to overclock to 1190mhz, performance and deadline
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] si_c1978:
sorry for late reply been on hol's, Yes quite right, I took the plunge with a altered alpha stock kernel which allowed setCPU see that, I was just wondering what over people thought or uses.

And if anyone is stably running more?

Ill look Into leedroid, I presume I just install from zip from xrecovery.

I would like to know a few things about it as I've used custom Rom's before.

Is it easier on ram then?

Does everything work? (wifi, camera, radio, how etc)

Many thanks for your help

It didn't work for me (incompatible Bluetooth stack on my device) but might be worth a try.
[Nexus 4 General] xmecx:
Hi All,

I know some people are having an issue with Wifi speed dropping randomly and is fixed by switching wifi off then on again.

My specific issue is with a BT homehub in the UK of which my speed will drop from 30mbps to around 2mbps after being connected for about 2-3hours. My issue seems to be fixed by turning GPS off but obviously this isnt convenient.

I stumbled on a "fix" while playing with my APN settings:

1) Go into Mobile networks in settings (Under "more" in Wireless and Networks)

2) Go into "Access point Names"

3) Click on your APN (if you have mutiple active ones do this for all)

4) Under "APN type" remove "supl" from the list (mine now says "default,mms")

5) Reboot

Now my Wifi does not drop speed at all even with GPS on.

So "supl" has something to do with Assisted-GPS but my GPS is working just as well as it did before this change.

Please test and post here what your situation is and if it helped.

:)

OK, that's great for you guys!

No I don't have slow speed all the time. Sometimes when I toggle Wi-Fi on/off or if I restart the router the speed is good for some times (can differ from minutes to hours) but then the download speed drops from ~35mbps to 7-8mbps while my upload speed is constant around 12mbps. This happens on my home network and only on my n4, this doesn't happen at the university or on any of my other devices.
